Tablet donation charity support from OCM

November 25, 2019


Tablet donation charity initiatives can make a real difference to organisations supporting vulnerable people. Access to the right technology allows charities to work more efficiently and reach those who need help most.

OCM, in partnership with Sanctuary Housing, has donated tablets to Onside Advocacy. This support is helping the charity improve how it delivers services across the county.

Supporting frontline charity work

Through this tablet donation charity initiative, Onside Advocacy now has access to mobile technology that supports its team in the field. Staff regularly visit people in their homes, as well as hospitals and care settings.

Previously, the team did not have access to IT while working remotely. However, the donated hybrid tablets now allow them to capture information in real time. As a result, they can better understand and respond to the needs of those they support.

Making a real difference to vulnerable people

Onside Advocacy supports individuals facing a range of challenges, including dementia, learning difficulties and mental ill health. This tablet donation charity support enables the team to work more effectively and reach more people.

Alice Braddick, Director of Business Development at Onside, highlighted the impact of the donation. The tablets allow the team to work smarter and improve the level of care they provide.

The importance of technology in care services

Access to technology plays a vital role in modern care and support services. It helps organisations improve communication, maintain accurate records and deliver more responsive support.

In addition, digital tools can help reduce delays and ensure people receive the help they need more quickly. You can learn more about digital inclusion from Good Things Foundation.

Working together to support communities

This tablet donation charity project shows how partnerships between businesses and charities can create meaningful change. By working together, organisations can provide practical support that improves lives.

OCM continues to support charities through IT reuse and donation initiatives. You can learn more here:
